About Me

a little bit about me

HI! I'm Sheila, a 40-something woman caught up in the wonder that I am Christ's and he is mine.

I write here about my daily life and thoughts I have on various subjects related to marriage, motherhood and the real life struggles of walking by faith in Christ.

I'm a slow-to-believe, believer. Most frequent prayer: I believe, help my unbelief!

I'm a One Peter Three wife (a way of saying I'm trying to win my husband to Christ) and a Timothy mom (a way of saying I'm trying to lead my sons to Christ by my life and the scriptures while in a 1 Peter 3 Marriage). I'm raising two polar opposite boys- now 12 and 14- to be men.

I think better when I write. I've kept a journal since I was 9 and started blogging 9 years ago. I'm curious and contemplative and easily distracted. I gaze into the heavens and the Heaven-Maker's words, remember the hard things, fight depression, and long for home and King.

I'm also a registered nurse, a soap maker and wanna be homesteader in suburbia. I feel at home with the smell of alfalfa. I crave God's word. I chew on it all day long.
